WHEREIS(1) User Commands WHEREIS(1) NAMEwhereis - locate the binary, source, and manual page files for a com‐mandSYNOPSIS whereis options -BMS directory.f name.DESCRIPTION whereis locates the binary, source and manual files for the specifiedcommand names. The supplied names are first stripped of leadingpathname components and any (single) trailing extension of the form. Ext (for example:.c) Prefixes of s. Resulting from use of sourcecode control are also dealt with. Whereis then attempts to locatethe desired program in the standard Linux places, and in the placesspecified by $PATH and $MANPATH.The search restrictions (options -b, -m and -s) are cumulative andapply to the subsequent name patterns on the command line. Any newsearch restriction resets the search mask. For example,whereis -bm ls tr -m gccsearches for 'ls' and 'tr' binaries and man pages, and for 'gcc' manpages only.The options -B, -M and -S reset search paths for the subsequent namepatterns.

For example,whereis -m ls -M /usr/share/man/man1 -f calsearches for 'ls' man pages in all default paths, but for 'cal' inthe /usr/share/man/man1 directory only.OPTIONS -b Search for binaries.-m Search for manuals.-s Search for sources.-u Only show the command names that have unusual entries. Acommand is said to be unusual if it does not have just oneentry of each explicitly requested type. Thus ' whereis -m -u.' asks for those files in the current directory which have nodocumentation file, or more than one.-B listLimit the places where whereis searches for binaries, by awhitespace-separated list of directories.-M listLimit the places where whereis searches for manuals anddocumentation in Info format, by a whitespace-separated listof directories.-S listLimit the places where whereis searches for sources, by awhitespace-separated list of directories.-f Terminates the directory list and signals the start offilenames.

It must be used when any of the -B, -M, or -Soptions is used.-l Output the list of effective lookup paths that whereis isusing. When none of -B, -M, or -S is specified, the optionwill output the hard-coded paths that the command was able tofind on the system.-h, -helpDisplay help text and exit.-V, -versionDisplay version information and exit.EXAMPLETo find all files in /usr/bin which are not documented in /usr/man/ man1 or have no source in /usr/src:cd /usr/bin whereis -u -ms -M /usr/man/man1 -S /usr/src -f. FILE SEARCH PATHSBy default whereis tries to find files from hard-coded paths, whichare defined with glob patterns.

The command attempts to use thecontents of $PATH and $MANPATH environment variables as defaultsearch path. The easiest way to know what paths are in use is to addthe -l listing option.

Usage Note: When where is used to refer to a point of origin, the preposition from is required: Where did she come from? From where I sit, the situation looks bleak. When it is used to refer to a destination, the preposition to is generally superfluous: Where is she going (rather than Where is she going to)?

The place where they are going is beautiful. When it is used to refer to the location of a person, event, or structure, the use of at is widely regarded as regional or colloquial: Where is the station (not Where is the station at)? Where is also used to mean 'in which' as in Show me an example where government intervention in the market has worked. The Usage Panel has mixed feelings about this.

In our 2001 survey, 60 percent accepted the example just given, but only 44 percent accepted Sometimes the discussion degenerates into a situation where each person accuses the other of being illogical. These usages probably derive from the positional use of where in sentences like He went to the house where the money was kept and We hid the present in the closet where we hang our coats. These positional usages are standard, but in all of these instances, where can be safely and clearly replaced by in which. Where is also used in instances where that might normally be expected, as in I don't see where they had much choice but to give up. The Usage Panel has less fondness for this usage.

Only 30 percent of the Panel accepted this sentence in our 2001 survey. See Usage Note at. Where ( wɛə).
